Arizona is close to adding the newest edition to its expansive collection of specialty license plates.

The potential new addition, headed by Equality Maricopa, is about to reach its fundraising goal of $32,000 and will be used to support the organization's PRISM scholarship fund.

"This will be a new and permanent funding source that will ensure future generations of LGBTQIA+ students receive the support they need," Equality Maricopa said in an Instagram post.
